Type in the following web address in the address bar at the top of the browser screen: http://blackboard.slu.edu. The Blackboard login page will appear.

Enter your SLU Net ID and password. The Home Tab page will appear.

Option 2:

Login to mySLU with your SLU Net ID and password.

Click on the Tools tab at the top of the page.

On the Tools page click the Blackboard Learn icon. The Blackboard "Home" tab page will appear.

If you are unable to login to Blackboard or mySLU, go to http://password.slu.edu and follow the instructions to update your password. If this does not resolve the problem, call the IT Service Desk at 314-977-4000.

Fill out the request. It will take approximately 72 hours for ITS to generate the temporary account, so keep that in mind when you are planning your course. ITS will send you and the guest the new account's SLU Net ID and password.

Send the guest account information to facsupport@slu.edu and indicate what role the guest should be assigned to in your Blackboard course. The guest will be added to the Blackboard Learn course and ITS will notify you that it has been done.

Courses can be grouped together in your "My Courses" module by term. (This feature became available starting with the Summer and Fall 2014 terms. Courses before Summer 2014 will be grouped together as "No Term Assigned.")

Any changes you make on this page only affect your "Home" tab page. Your students' "Home" tab page will not be affected by your changes.

Steps:

On the Blackboard Home tab, hover over the "My Courses" module and an icon that looks like a "cog" will appear on the right side of the title bar.

Click the "cog icon." The "Personalize: My Courses" page will appear.

To enable terms, check the box next to "Group by Term" at the top of the page and then click the "Submit" button.

The "Home" tab page will appear with the courses in the "My Courses" module grouped by terms.

To collapse or expand the terms in the "My Courses" module, click on the "arrow" to the left of the term. When the arrow is pointing right, the term is collapsed, and when the arrow is pointing down, the term is expanded.

Students with incompletes must be approved by the Registrar's Office before they can be added to a Blackboard course. Contact facsupport@slu.edu or call 314-977-2252 to initiate the process of adding these students to a Blackboard class.
